If I'm not mistaken, I saw this one when I was a kid and when it came out in the theaters. I really enjoyed it back then but, honestly, Disney wasn't doing very well at the time and the movies they released in the 80's were not very well received in general. Anyway, I saw it again with my 6 years old daughter and it is indeed obviously a minor effort among their prestigious productions. I mean, it... read more

If there’s one Disney film in the entire canon that I’m incredibly familiar with, it’s The Great Mouse Detective. I can’t even imagine how many times I’ve watched this film throughout my life. Without a doubt, this is my undisputed favorite Disney film. I admit, it’s an odd choice. It’s not a film from one of the cherished areas, but there’s something about its lower key that just ... read more

"
A cute Walt Disney homage to "Sherlock Holmes" that for many young boys (me included) was the first experience I got to experience the wonderful world of classic crime "who dunnits" movies. It also ends with a breathtaking climax that has a pinch of Hitchcock in it with it's nail-biting fight on top of Big Ben's dial pointers. Vincent Price's sweet voice as the villain, Ratigan, is the icing on the cake for horror buffs and the Basil Rathbone voice cameo is golden. Sadly the story itself is no"

" TITLE OF WRITTEN WORK: Basil of Baker Street PUBLISHED FORMAT: children's book series AUTHOR/CREATOR: Eve Titus ORIGINAL PUBLICATION YEAR: 1958-1982 HAVE I READ: No NOTES: Heavily influenced by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's character, Sherlock Holmes, not least of which is because we find out the mice live in the cellar of the same building that Sherlock Holmes resides.

"This is one of the very few good animated Disney movies released during the Bronze Era along with The Rescuers. It's also made by the same directing duo that later did The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, The Princess and the Frog, and Moana. The film features both a likable hero and villain. Basil of Baker Street is basically the mouse version of Sherlock Holmes, and he even lives under his house. And of course, you have the great Vincent Price as Rattigan."
